I don’t think I’ve ever thought about it. I tend to like certain colored hooks though…
Yes possibly, because it makes it easier to keep up with the hook.
I need a new tunisian hook, size H so what better than enter this fantastic giveaway to maybe get a set of hooks! Thanks for the chance 🙂
I don’t think hook color influences my mood….any crochet time is happy time!
But I do select hook colors that contrast the yarn I’m working with so I can see my stitches more easily.
Not tgat I am aware of.
It doesn’t influence my mood, but pretty hooks can definitely make me smile! Especially purple ones!
I’ve never thought about the hook color and how it makes me feel. I hope not. I do have one hook that is brown & I have wished it was another color, like red or blue.
The color of my crochet hook does not affect my mood for crocheting at all. I crochet till I drop (literally) with any color.
Im always cheerful when Im into my crochet. It is my calming center through out an otherwise hectic day.
Never really thought about it, I will have to pay attention in the future. Nice giveaway. I would love to win this one.
I can’t really say the color of my hook influences my mood much, but then again I have never even given it a thought! Hmmmm . . .
The color of the hook doen’t change my mood… I am always in a good mood when I am crocheting!
I mood does affect which color hook I choose when starting a project, if I have multiple hooks in a size.
I don’t think the hook color really influences my mood, but I sure do love to use colored hooks 🙂 Thank you for the opportunity to win this set!
My current hooks are all the same color so I would love to win these colorful hooks and give you a good answer.
Not really colors but if I am stressed, I tend to pick up my purple hook….it is a J and always find working with something bulky is relaxing
I don’t think the color of the hook affects my mood – each of my hooks is a different color and I know them more by the color than the size (oh, this is worsted, I need the red hook)
Can’t say that I’ve ever noticed my hook color influencing me. 🙂
It might, I do happen to do lot of crochet with F hook that is my favorite color hook. 🙂
I don’t usually notice what color I’m using. I’ve never really seen it effect my mood when crocheting..
I love this set of hooks, and the bag makes me smile. I like to use pretty hooks. YES! The way the hook looks has an effect on me. The prettier the hook, the more I want to crochet with it. I would love to win these. Great giveaway. Thanks for sharing.
Nope. It’s all about size, not color..
These hooks are gorgeous!!! 🙂
The color does not really affect my mood but the feel of the hook does. That is one of the reasons I like hooks that are easy on my hands.
Would love to win the hooks! Thank you.
I’ve never actually noticed whether it does or not…I know I get more excited when I see some colors of the specific hook sizes I need for projects, especially the way they complement the yarn-color I’m using. I’ll have to keep this question in mind as I do future crocheting!
I’ve never paid attention to the color of my hooks, obviously I need more exciting hooks!
I don’t think the color of my hooks makes any difference. I started learning to crochet on lacework and so all the hooks I used were silver at the time. I think I thought it was need when I moved on to yarn and the larger hooks that they were colored but only because it made it a little easier to tell them apart when I was using more than one hook.
Not very often, but sometimes an especially cheery hook can brighten an otherwise dull day!
Ha….Never thought about that.
But sometimes it does…I have multiples of each
size and tend to pick one that compliments
my yarn color…
Yes, color influences everything in my life. I find that my creativity flows better when I am surrounded by favorite colors. Thank you for this lovely giveaway.
No, I don’t think color effects my mood but I do like the brighter hooks 😀
the color itself don’t effect my mood, I think is otherwise, I choose to crochet a project depending on my mood, easy or complicated, bicolor or multicolor, etc..
I hardly pay any attention to the color of the hook. I only notice when it blends too much with the yarn, if it causes difficulty.
My main hooks are Crochet Amour hooks, which are color coded by size. I try not to be affected by the hook color since the project chooses for me. Fortunately, I’m into earth tones so it doesn’t bring me down when I pick up my brown J hook after all the bright colors in the smaller hooks.
I can not say my hooks do not but the yarn does!
No… not really.
I’m not really sure that hook color changes influences my mood when crocheting, but a beautiful set as this certainly would be pleasant to have. 🙂
Does your crochet hook color influence your mood when you’re crocheting? No, my hook color doesn’t influence my mood. But if it is the same color as my yarn I have trouble finding it some times.
What a smashing combination. Yes, I think the color affects my mood. I like having several hooks the same size so I can choose which color I prefer on each day.
No I don’t think it does.
I think my yarn color could influence my mood, but I don’t think the hook color would.
Not really
No, the color of my crochet hook does not affect my mood, but I love having a variety of sizes to use.
The color of a hook does not really affect my mood. The feel of a hook is more important.
I don’t think my hook color influences my mood
yes the color of my hook does influence my mood and my project…I also have the have the right feel of the fibre against the hook, i will try multiple hooks of the same size til i find the one i enjoy for that project…lol
The color of my hook has never affected my mood while crocheting.
